“House Republicans nominated Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for Speaker on Friday, the conference’s second attempt to find a candidate who can win the gavel on the House floor.”
“Jordan, currently chair of the House Judiciary Committee, earned 124 votes to win the nomination over Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.). Scott had mounted a last-minute bid for Speaker that was largely seen as a protest to Jordan’s candidacy.”
“A second vote Friday asking members if they would support Jordan on the House floor as the nominee came in at 152-55, far short of the 217 he needs to clinch the gavel. And some Republicans are sharply opposed to Jordan’s bid.”

Get out your popcorn, this is going to be good, the GOP finally going over the edge. Got to wonder now if the moderate Republicans, if there are any left, play the same hardball with Jimmy that Jimmy’s biddies played with McCarthy
Either way, got to love it, guarantee Gov’t shutdown and a laughable Biden impeachment on live TV, all bought to us by little Jimmy. Democrats in swing districts got to be ecstatic
